I've been too busy to update or do more than briefly browse my friendslist. I will have a more thorough update soon, but I have to say how pleased I am with my OA group this year. They are active participators, they listen to me, they all show up, and they even came up with a V-10 cheer. I couldn't have dreamed of a better group. :D Oh, and I have two Daves in my group, so I call them Proper Dave and Other Dave. XD /nerd
Academic Advising is today, so I am up early. Yaaay. I need sleep...
Then it was time to peace out! I ran to Walmart and Wegmans to stock up on Orientation supplies, and Jay's to finalize our order for tomorrow morning. Then back to the P-hizzle, where I hung out for a bit with Brittany, Becca, Alice and Grant.
Tomorrow's Agenda: -Getting up at 3 to shower and get my stuff ready -Meeting Sean at 4:10 to walk to U lot to get my car -Picking up Jamie and Mike then heading to Jay's at 4:30 -Running to walmart or wegmans to get last minute supplies -Meeting at the Fireside lounge at 6:30 for last staff circle before the chaos starts -In the field house from 7am-7:30pm welcoming the new GCCIS studs -Running back to Photohouse for the floor meeting at 7:30pm [probably will shower first] -Staff meeting across campus at 9:30pm -Comedian WOW event at 10pm [probably not though because I need to do laundry =X]
I spent all day waiting for a text message from Obama with his VP choice. Damn news telling me we'd find out by afternoon today. LIEEEEES. I just checked MSNBC and it's reporting that the AP says it's Biden.
After work: -dropped off our orders for Sunday morning breakfast at Jay's -People moved on floor :D Becca, Brittany, Steph C., Mark Y. and Ross! -visited Kyle, Steph, Ev and Jess's sick Park Point apartment. Only got to see Kyle and Jess though :( -visited Stef, Nicky and Sara in the batcave
I drove, so I dropped people off at their respective residences/vehicles. When dropping off Dan in R lot, we saw a bunch of the leads moving Forrest's scooter. It was pretty hilarious, I wish I could have seen his face when he realized it was missing :P
And here I sit. Not motivated to unpack, or type up the orders for Jay's on Sunday. ughh.
On the agenda for tomorrow: Staff pictures, moving my car so it doesn't get towed, getting schedules for move-in day, and Tropic Thunder after training! OH AND BABY SASS RETURNS TO ME TOMORROW <33 I was going to visit Steph tonight, but she was with Kurtis. LAME. Oh, and I want to see Rosie too, who has been here since Sunday and I have not conversed with her. ANOTHER LAME.
PS: FMS, plz stop walking into my room at like 7am. It was the third time you've done it in a row. Get a clue.
Read this morning about John Barrowman's new CD. I'm pretty excited. I think he could sing ingredients off a box and he would find a way to make it enjoyable. I'm hoping it will be up on itunes the day-of, but I might end up just ordering it off amazon. We'll see my financial situation in that month.
SPEAKING OF, Citi/RIT is made of super fail. They didn't approve all the loan money I asked for, so I have no extra money for books. I might even be shy a little bit on my tuition. Wonderful. I requested $13,000 and I got $10,409. Thanks for giving me that $5000 grant only to skimp me on my loan to pay for the rest of it.
Now it's time to get Ziggy Stardust settled and get some sleep. First years arrive in 4 days!
I am so exhausted. It's not even OA training, it's trying to move in! I seriously just spent 4 hours assembling Bookcase-of-Fail[I'm printing a sign with that and sticking it on it]. But more on that later...
( Collapse ) Then it was time to tackle bookcase-of-fail. I didn't know it would be a failcase until I got to the last step and the stupid weird screw thingies they gave me wouldn't go in. Cue 2 hours of trying everything and killing the crap out of the bookcase. I had enough, so I took the screw out and went to walmart. I ended up buying two L brackets to make up for lack-of-screw. Of course it still wasn't co-operating since the L brackets weren't meant to be there, so cue more cursing and smashing-the-wood-with-the-hammer. It also didn't come with the 50 nails it was supposed to, so I had to pick those up too. I think it's good and sturdy now. Maybe? If you read about a college kid dying from her bookcase falling on her, it's probably me.
Now I need to go to bed before I die. OA training at 8:30 tomorrow! Bowling in the evening! And laundry with Jamie! I hope he doesn't mind the mess that is my room...
Quick update because I spent 7 hours moving and have a massive headache-
Started at 10... got my keys from housing, spent an hour trying to get the bed situated. It was jammed, so I just set aside the jammed piece and assembled the bed using the other bits. Then made about 3 trips to the batcave and back loading stuff. Luckily Photohouse has a shopping cart, which made moving sooo much easier. My parents arrived, helped me move more stuff. My room is kind of an explosion of things, since I only had time to drop stuff, shower, and then run off to training.
Reported to OA training at 5pm- it was great seeing everyone. Petey and Alaina dropped out, so the only returners from my years in Orientation are Jamie, Mike, Terry and I; plus the leads Ryan, Holly, Forrest, Justin, Josh and Mike. Then there are 2 returners from my Freshman year, my OA Rich[who doesn't remember me :(] and Charles. phew. We had 27 OAs but it's been dropped down to 26, which means more freshman to wrangle. Yay. We're looking at ~2,500 incoming total.
The OA gear this year is epic though! Seriously the most comfortable bag I've ever had in my life. The strap has this bouncy gel thingy and it's heaven. The jackets are way nicer, with a fold up hood and a full-zip front. They brought back the blinky "got questions?" buttons, woohoo! And they gave us this really nifty fold-up frisbee. The OA shirts are back to normal polos, which rock harder than the crappy sports ones we got last year. And the binder continues to shrink in size, which is always a good thing. OH, and the water bottles! They're really funky, but spill-proof, w00t.
After staff circle and all that jazz, I went to Walmart with Jamie. Picked up energy drinks liek whoa and an epic bookshelf. Then I ran to the batcave to round up some more of my items, and borrow Jess's toolset. Only think left there is Ziggy Stardust[the fish!]. And I have to vacuum the room and pledge the desk, but that won't take too long.
